OT Project cheap, fast AND good has begun

We're talking about the car's skin being stretchable, not yours.
You is hilarious. Sore subject. Funny you should mention it though. Cops just showed up at my work and threatened to arrest me for streaking last night. AND they wanted to classify it as a hate crime.

All the neighbors that saw it HATED seeing it.

At least you now have proof that the cops and your neighbors are Laker fans.

I wanna get back to the streaking.

We all wanna go back to the 70's, it was a simpler time. Food Sticks and Chevy Vegas.

Why would your face sell underwear. It needs to wear it.


Maybe if it had extras?
Underwear on my face would just cover up my masculine good looks. Oh, who am I kidding. Most would probably prefer underwear or anything else that hid my face.
 
You know what they say, cheap fast and good isn't a good combo. Well, I just started my attempt.

Now, I must say that fast is being judged on hours worked not the calendar. Calendar time depends on my schedule.

Can't have my daily driver down for long periods and make wife drive me to work so I got a donor car that if I get the title I intend to donate to a veteran group like I did my white one. The white paint on my original door in the pic is just to prevent rust in between metalwork. Not finished.View attachment 21569 View attachment 21570
Taking off all my plastic parts such as bumpers on the SVT and swapping the light yellow parts on it so I can still drive. (May have to leave and return home at dark so neighborhood doesn't see it. Gonna be ugly for a while)

I know I said I was done, but this is just too good to ignore;

That is no way to talk about your visits with Mrs HCP if want them to continue.
 
Got some stuff done today. Rear bumper and driver's door ready for primer.

Going in tomorrow to finish most of the bodywork.
 
Spent another half day working on it yesterday. Almost ready for primer.


The hood had quite a few dents from people pushing on it to close it. Hate that. The most work I have left is the front bumper. Have to weld the cracks and license holes. image000000_10.jpg 20180721_115025_HDR.jpg 20180721_111232.jpg 20180721_111144.jpg
 
Took the hatch off. Not even going to paint the inside. Looks like new.

No rust and the paint it bright yellow and not faded. image000000_11.jpg
 
Dude... you totally should do this to your car.

@honkicracker this thread. I used to hate yellow too. I like it on this car but I'd kill for an orange 5 door. 2004 only
When I was a young kid, I had a yellow bicycle. I've always wanted a yellow car.

Yellow cars have the lowest accident rate of any color of car. School buses are yellow for a reason.
 
I have an old yellow Alfa. It looks great.
Should look pretty close to this when done except not lowered. Need to order a chin spoiler. Not many options out there. My original is gone, had a black foam universal piece taped on. Didn't look too bad.

Thinking of ordering a repro 2003 or so cobra or mach lip. 60 bucks and may look decent. We'll see
